So, the circus came to town today....well, sort of...!

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus stopped in town today...but not for a performance...

...just a pachyderm pitstop!

ELEPHANTS!

Eleven of them! It was quite a sight!They simply hung out for awhile, an hour or so, while their cars were being spruced up...ate a little, covered themselves in dirt and weeds to cool off, one of them even took a little nap!

Then, they were escorted back to their train car...trunks holding tails!

Here, they lined up, got a little drink from a hose...and then...

...one by one, they boarded...into what seemed an impossibly small doorway for such large animals!

Until the final one loaded up...and they were on their way...to Salt Lake City, to perform at the Energy Solutions Arena, Thursday through Sunday!

Some of my favorite things are quotes...poetry, inspiration, affirmation, lyrics, books...words are amazing! My absolute favorites are images that speak volumes...images that tell a story! Below are a few of my favorite quotes... I'd love to read yours! Email me @ heartandsoulimages@cableone.net and perhaps I will feature it here!

"Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh'ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy-washy. Blah blah. Don't let someone else steal your tenderness. Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to be truly affected by things. Whether it's a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all - look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love." - Zooey Deschanel

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself -what makes you come alive -and then go & do that! Because what the world needsare people who have come alive!
